A New Year Wish

For the New Year I wish you light.

Moonlight, starlight. Firelight, candlelight. The subtle luster of dawn and the brilliance of sunrise. The gleam in a friend’s eyes. City lights. The tiny sparks of fireflies in the dark night. I wish you a blazing torch when you’ve lost your way, an illuminating idea when you’ve lost your inspiration. A reflection. A rainbow. The glow of red and green leaves between you and a hazy sky that hides the sun.“Look for the light,” my sister called to my daughter who was dying almost five years ago.

Well, Annette, I’m wishing a serene new year to you too. Our lives could both stand some serenity these days. A toast to serenity! And then, could I beg a bit of a push for some excitement as well, for myself, while you’re making wishes for me?

Thank you, Susan. That is the nicest wish. I love the part about many finding their way to my blog. And I wish YOU a beautiful growing peace as well. I also wish you what you hope and pray for. You’ve already guessed my wish. I don’t know yours but I’m hoping that whatever it is, it will come true. Happy New Year to you and yours.
